Black snowflakes seem to be a nontraditional to display snowflakes but I think in this case it is justified. The black elements of the tree and foreground are dark and seem to be in a semi-silhouette. Adding the black flakes gives the bokah time to shine!! At first I didn't have gems on the snowflakes and it seemed too harsh. When adding the gems they seemed to have come alive!

Thank you again Merethe for sharing your beautiful die cuts with me. I am really enjoying them.. I would encourage you to check out her blog. She is a very talented lady..

I also want to thank you for allowing me to steal some time from you during this busy and sometimes hectic season. Please be safe and take care.

Merry Christmas Shawna. I like this non-traditional christmas card. And black can be very "chick" and those red made the black stand out. Fun to see howe you have used the embellishment from me. Fun to see. Take care and enjoy rest of the holydays :)(✿*‿*) Ma (Merethe)

I love this card - the bokeh background is stunning. The black snowflakes are just perfect with the tree and gems. Great card. Thanks so much for playing along with our Christmas challenge at The Male Room. Hope to see you again next year.
